During the pandemic, while I was staying home, my skin started to deteriorate despite regular care. It wasn't like this before; there's constantly some redness, small pimples, maybe stress, I don't know. I've tried serums and such, but honestly, I don't know the results. Am I just panicking, or has anyone else experienced this?
The pandemic really took a toll on my skin too, just like you said, constant redness and tiny pimples. For me, it was due to stress and being in front of a screen all the time. During that period, I used a dermatological moisturizer, and it helped improve my skin a bit.
I really experienced it seriously too. It felt like my pores were getting clogged while I was constantly at home. And when I wore a mask going outside, it always got worse. Then I changed my cleansing gels, and it made a bit of a difference.
You've linked everything to stress, but are you sure you're using the serums correctly? One product used incorrectly can ruin your skin, especially if you can't adjust the timing or amount.
Stress can also affect the immune system, making the skin more prone to reactions. So redness and small pimples were common during this period. However, some ingredients in serums and skincare products can increase this type of sensitivity. It's important to check the ingredient list and choose those that are suitable for sensitive skin.
Thank you for the quick replies. I've noticed that during the pandemic, I may have overindulged in products; I was trying different serums one after another. Could that also be a factor? As for the mask issue, I experienced something strange as well.
Did you test the serums one by one or did you use them at the same time? Did you apply them morning and evening? Also, where does the redness occur the most?
I read somewhere that the chemicals from masks during the pandemic damage the skin or something like that. Does changing masks even help? I was using a cotton mask and didn't have any issues.
Dude, there are people here who don't even know how to use a serum properly. Is saying, 'I use a cotton mask and there were no issues' now a scientific fact? Let me tell you something, skin problems mostly arise from choosing the wrong products or confusion.
